The whole movie was very boring and slow-moving, nothing much really happened. In fact, I feed like the plot didn't move forward until the last 30 minutes when Molly uncovered the secret bunker. It so very easy to figure out that Kyle and Ethan were the same person. I don't think it would've taken a detective to figure that out. I think they were going for some type of plot-twist, but it was just so very obvious from the beginning (although I did suspect the detective for a while). Also, the title doesn't really make that much sense. The movie is titled "Hider in my House" but she lives in an apartment, therefore it should've been titled "Hider in my Apartment". Overall the whole thing just felt like filler and that it took less than a week to film and produce. I am giving this movie a 4 out of 10 stars.

These walls will keep you safe!
coltras353 August 2023
Molly Bachman, a young bestselling author buys the apartment of her dreams in the city. As she settles in, ready to start work on her next novel, strange sounds and bumps in the night begin to alarm her, along with the feeling of being watched and followed. As she discovers the dark history of the apartment, she eventually discovers a horrifying secret-a hidden entrance to another abandoned apartment behind the walls. What lies behind those walls leads to a shocking revelation.
It's slow moving and slightly dull at times, however there are some tense moments as well as some creepy moments. There's some creepy atmosphere at times, but the romantic story mars the scary element. I did enjoy it, but I found it average with some aforementioned points. The lead actress and April Consalo are a sight for sore eyes.

Lifetime, Why Do You Keep Doing This To Your Viewers?
Foutainoflife26 February 2023
Bad acting. Bad script. Every bit of this was predictable, uninspired and a waste of time.
Lifetime used to put out some really great true crime movies and decent fictional movies but now they seem to show more and more of this sort of "lower-than-B-Movie" crap. I really hate to diss Lifetime movies because of how much I used to enjoy watching them. They were never blockbusters but for a mid week night on the couch and a chance to see a B or C list actor play a role outside their daytime soap, sitcom or teen drama, they fit the bill.
It is no surprise that Lifetime now wears the crown when it comes to crap movies if this is all they are willing to deliver. Bring back those good movies. Give people a reason to WANT to watch again.

I Endured This For 15 Minutes
andrealouisecarpente-727-63581315 August 2022
The acting was horrific. Typical low budget worst actors Lifetime movie that was irritating from the first bit of dialogue. 15 minutes was too long. Who are rating these movies a 6.1? I wonder what these people consider bad if this is good? Have they ever even seen a really good movie? Aside from the handful of good Lifetime movies per year they are all like this now. Can we bring back 90s quality Lifetime please?
Waste of time

Warning: Spoilers
Yet another Lifetime thriller movie where there is sex on the first date with someone they met five minutes ago. One brief encounter in the street followed by meeting at a book signing. They hardly know each other and on the first date the dumb protagonist takes the stranger she hardly knows into her apartment for sex. If the movie makers want to make it believable at least pick someone who would fit the part. The date or in this case the psycho was not a johnny handsome. All teeth and nose. Seriously I mean Meghan Carrasquilo (Molly) and Kyle/Ethan looked seriously wrong together. They could have done a better job of picking another actor with convincing looks to play his part. A total mismatch.
My question is this, is this life in America? Do people just jump into the sack on the first date? Anyway, the story was stupid. The movie dragged on aimlessly for too long. It could have been rapped up in a 15 minute short movie.
Like one contributor said, it was immediately obvious who the psycho was from very early on in the movie. Yet again the acting was terrible all round. Do not bother with this one folks!

The film in question certainly captivates the viewer with its intriguing premise and visually stunning execution. However, as we delve into the plot, it becomes increasingly evident that the strength of the plot does not fully live up to expectations.
One of the film's main flaws lies in its script, which, despite presenting an original and promising idea, fails to sustain the audience's interest until the end. From the beginning, we are introduced to captivating characters and a universe rich in potential, but as the narrative unfolds, we realize that the story follows a predictable and uninnovative path.
The lack of surprising twists and the absence of deeper layers in the characters end up harming the overall experience of the film. The predictability of the plot not only reduces tension and suspense, but also makes the viewer lose interest in following the development of the story.
Additionally, the lack of cohesion in certain parts of the script contributes to a feeling of disconnect between different scenes and subplots. Key plot moments feel forced or poorly explained, leaving the audience confused and frustrated rather than engaged in the story.
Another aspect that deserves criticism is the lack of adequate character development. Although they are presented as intriguing figures, their motivations and dilemmas are not explored in depth, leaving them superficial and unmemorable. As a result, it is difficult for the audience to emotionally connect with them and care about their fate.
Despite these flaws, it is important to recognize that the film has merits. Skillful direction and stunning cinematography contribute to creating an immersive atmosphere that holds the viewer's attention. Furthermore, the cast delivers solid performances, even if the material they have at hand doesn't allow them to shine fully.
In short, although the film is undoubtedly interesting in many aspects, it fails to reach its full potential due to the limitations of the script. With significant adjustments to the narrative and a deeper development of the characters, it could have been a masterpiece instead of just an average film.
Can be better, but congrats to everyone involved in the project !
